Palestine college student protest megathread

[All Along The Watchtower]

Nonviolent civil disobedience has a rich and proud history in this country and elsewhere. Shame that some people can’t see past the opportunists and fringe who engage in harmful activities, whether that be violence against people or (more commonly) property.

I also wish the use of excessive force and other abuses committed by some law enforcement officers against nonviolent protestors received the same level of opprobrium as the rightful condemnation of destructive behavior committed by some on the protestors’ side, and vice versa. But a lot of people on either side of these issues are too tribalistic, unfortunately.

Exclusive: House Republicans Introduce Legislation To Send Hamas-Sympathizing Student Visa Holders Home

Tennessee Republican Rep. Andy Ogles introduced legislation Wednesday to send Hamas-sympathizing student visa holders home and told Hamas-Sympathizing student visa holders to “go study abroad in Gaza.”

The Daily Caller first obtained a copy of the legislation, which is titled the Study Abroad Act. The bill would specifically “revoke the F, J, or M visa” of any illegal immigrant who authorities have “arrested for rioting or unlawful protest,” or who authorities have “arrested while establishing, participating in, or promoting an encampment” at an institute of higher education.

“The ability to receive higher education in the United States is truly a privilege. Previously known for their prestige and unparalleled academics, many elite American universities have damaged their hard-earned reputations by opening their doors to impressionable terrorist sympathizers. In the last several weeks, our nation has seen these institutions overrun and terrorized by young people calling for a third intifada,” Ogles told the Caller before introducing the bill.

How remarkably stupid do you have to be as an international student to join these protests? And some are even ILLEGAL immigrants, wtf. You are a guest in the country, be happy to be there as so many would love such an opportunity but aren't as priviledged.

You actually don’t need a new law for this as current law makes it illegal for people who are on visa to advocate for terrorist groups and specifically pro Palestinian ones .

Biden is simply not enforcing the law

The material support laws are overly broad (deliberately so) and unconstitutional from any reasonable perspective.

Not according to the Supreme Court

Hence “from any reasonable perspective.”
